5-HTP

Extra Strength

100mg

Mood balancing effects when used for at least one week

5-HTP stands for L-5-hydroxytryptophan, derived from the amino acid tryptophan found in many proteins and the seeds of an African plant known as Griffonia simplicifolia. 5-HTP Extra Strength provides the amino acid building blocks necessary for the production of serotonin—a key neurotransmitter involved in mood regulation—which is then used to produce the neurohormone melatonin.

Ultimately, individuals experiencing mood imbalances or symptoms associated with fibromyalgia may benefit from taking 5-HTP.
